Today was great I had fun building my own Vitrine. It's an museum exibit that me and my partner had to build ourselves and it was based on a supplement called Airborne. This supplement is used to prevent colds from happening and keeping bacteria from forming so that you won't get a cold. We had to make our own Vitrine out of supplies that our supervisor's gave us and I have to say it was really fun and I enjoyed it a whole lot and I would love to do it again. YOURS TRUELY, SHAVEAL

Lance Cutter Is My Hero

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 12:29:02 -0700

When the St. Louis Science Center asked its employees recently to don Monsters! decals on the side of their cars as an aid to promotion of the event, many were reluctant to step up. Few were willing to invite the decorative robotic eyeball and red SLSC logo onto their methods of transport. Staff morale was at an all-time low and times were tough at the Science Center...but that's when everything changed.

People throw the word HERO around loosely these days. You'll often hear it in reference to a sports player, a first responder to an emergency, or a single mother struggling to make it on her own. But when I think of what a HERO is to me, I think of Lance Cutter. As Director of Community Programs, Lance Cutter knew that people need a role model. When Lance saw that people were wary of placing decals on the cars, did he ask why? No. Did he reprimand his staff for non-participation? No. He stepped up to the plate and placed not 1 or 2, but 8 decals on his brand new BMW. Now that's a HERO.

There is no one I strive to be more than Lance Cutter. Lance Cutter is a beacon of hope in a dreary world.

It seems like this summer job has taught me a lot about how tha work world! And that u aren't always going to like or get along with ur co-workers but if u want 2 have a job u have suck it up and get over it and keep working as if nutin ever happened!!!

At the networking event i met lots of people and leard lots of new things. One person that i think will really help me in the future is Renaud. He works at Harris Stowe college. He is a coach for the womens basket ball team. He will help me with scholarships and maybe with basketball. That is who i met at the networking place.

WOOO, Today so far was a Bummer!!!!!!!!!!!

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 07:51:48 -0700

OH MY GRACIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today was a total bummer so far. Do you know why? Because I tried about three computers just to try to log on to here an blog. An now finally a computer let me log in. I thought I would've never got to blog today, not like it was a big deal to me or something. But its a big deal to my supervisors so I do it, (meaning blogging). When I got to work today I didn't feel like doing anything but since its work I have to work, you know what I mean. A lot of people wake up feeling like this. But I almost didn't show but my momz was like you going to work today. So here I am tired, sleepy, dreading this day and once I get there I have more difficulties other than my tired eyes. So until next time.
